Each of the edges is formed with an upwardly angled locating tab extending in opposed relation to an associated housing wall portion. An attachment slot is provided in the retainer device intermediate the radiused juncture and a concave annular edge with the slot principal axis disposed bisecting the included angle. The free end of each tab contacting its associated opposed wall portion whereby the slot is adjustably aligned with a subjacent borehole. Upon a single bolt threadably engaging the housing borehold the bearing retainer is secured thereon against rotation while its arcuate concave edge is concentrically disposed on a sector of the thrust collar releasably securing the bearing assembly in the cavity.
